Good afternoon,

Things have calmed down a little this week, which has given us a chance to work through our Christmas pre-orders. We still have some beef boxes available next month, which will be filled to the brim with slow-grown goodness. If you’ve not yet got your festive meals organised, you could have a look at our offering here.

We’re looking forward to a couple of cosy events over the coming weeks, starting with My Posy Neighbour’s wreath workshop on 30th November. The week after brings the flavours of Indian & Sri Lankan cuisine to the farm with chef Kanthi Thamma’s supper on 6th December, which is swiftly followed by live music, mulled cider & burgers on 7th December. You can book the wreath workshop and supper club online, and just turn up to join in the merriment on the 7th.

Yesterday took me a stone’s throw from the farm to visit the Leonardslee Gardens ahead of their festive light show to chat to their bar staff. They’ve put our Cyder Cider & Firebird’s beers on their taps, and will be serving warm cups of mulled Silly Moo, too. They’re expecting some 100K visitors over the next few weeks and I’m chuffed they’ve chosen us as part of their drinks offering. If you’re looking for something jolly to do, it is quite a spectacle that we’re lucky to have so nearby.

I think that’s all from me today, folks. The Cyder Tap is open and serving burgers tomorrow from 11am - 4pm, and whilst the forecast isn’t looking as glorious as it is today, the fire will be roaring and the smells of mulled cider will be wafting so I do hope to see you.

Wishing you some time in the sunshine this afternoon,

Rachel
